MANCHESTER UNITED will guarantee Bastian Schweinsteiger regular first-team football to prise him from Bayern Munich, according to reports.

The Red Devils are already closing in on a £25million move to sign Southampton star Morgan Schneiderlin.

Schweinsteiger is a target for the Red Devils as they seek to bolster their midfield and provide cover for Michael Carrick.

Though it would seem difficult to accommodate both Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger, United are looking to make some statements of intent as they seek to challenge Chelsea for the Premier League next term.

The Times suggest Schweinsteiger is torn about whether to fight for his Bayern future or move to the Premier League.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is on Manchester United's radar

Schweinsteiger, the report claims, sees regular first-team football as being paramount to securing a place in Germany's Euro 2016 squad.

Schweinsteiger was restricted to just 15 starts for Bayern in the Bundesliga last term.
